AFTER ILL.
BY WIIXIAM'E. PABOB.
After all!
Tn the sleep that comes to all.
Does it matter what befall
When we are beyond recall
Sleeping soundly and profoundly ?
All the woeful weight of care
That onr human spirits bear
In a great or lesser share.
After all, after all!
After all!
All the Kloryvall the gain,
Qo much chair, so little grain,
All life's pleasure, all its pain,
Matching sweetness with its fleetness,
Only on the shining slope
Of God's Upland blooms the hope
That we cherish as" We grope,
After all, after aU!
After all I
There'll be ships in sight of shore,
There'll be sunshine on the floor,
There'll be footsteps at the door
When our sadness ana onr gladness
1 Are as were the babies twain
Covered by the birds in vain
Where the leaves would not not remain,
After all, after all!
WIS IT NOT PROVIDKKCE !
From Harpers Weekly.
About forty years ago* in the western
part of New York, lived a lonely widow
mother. Her husband had been dead
many years, and her only daughter was
grown and married, living at the distance of a mile or two from the family
mansion.
And thus- the old lady liv«d alone day
and night. Yet in her conscious innocence and trust in Providence, she felt
safe and cheerful, did her-w^rk quietly
during the daylight, and at eventide
slept sweetly.
One morning, however, she awoke
with an extraordinary: and unwonted
gloom upon her .mind, which was impressed with the apprehension- that
something strange was about to happen
to her or hers. So fill! was she- of tshis
thought that she could not stay at home
that day, but must go abroad to give
vent to it, unbosoming herself ta-her
friends, especially to her daughter.
With her she spent the greater part of
the'day, and to her several times repeated the recital of her apprehensions.—
The daughter as often repeated the as-
■^urancos that her good mother had nev
er done injury to any person, and added,
" I cannot think any one wouldjhurtyou,
for you have not an enemy in the world.
On her way home she called on a
neighbor who lived in the last house before she reached her own. Here she
again made known'her continued ap--
prehensions, which had nearly ripened
into fear, and from the lady of the
mansion she received answers similar
to those of her daughter. " You hava
harmed no one in your lifetime, surely
no one will molest you. • Here, Rover,"
said she to a stout wateh-dog that lay
on the floor, " here, Rover, go home
with Mrs. Mozher, and take care of
her." Rover did as he was told. The
widow went home, milked her cows,
took care of everything out of doors,
and went to bed as usual. Rover had
not left her for an' instant, When she
was fairly in bed, he laid himself down
upon the outside, and as the widow
relied upon his fidelity, and perhaps
chid herself for needless fear, she fell
asleep. Some time in the night she
awoke, being startled, probably, By a
slight noise outside the house. It was
so slight, however, thai she was not
aware of being startled at all, but heard,
as soon as she awoke, a sound like the
rising of a window near her bed, which
was a room on the ground floor.
The dog neither barked nor moved.
Next, there was another sound, as if
some one was in the room and stepped
cautiously on the floor. The woman
saw nothing, but now, for the first time,
felt the dog move, as he made a violent
spring from the bed, and at the same
moment something fell on the floor,
sounding like a heavy log. Then followed other noises, like the pawing of a
dog's feet; but soon all was still again,
and the dog resumed his place on the
bed without having barked at alL
This time the widow did not go to
sleep immediately, but lay awake, suffering, yet not deeming it best to get up.
But at last she dropped asleep, and
when she awoke the sun was shining.
She hastily stepped out of bed, and
there lay the body of a man, extended
on the floor, dead, with a large knife in
his hand, which was even now extended.
The dog had seized him by the throat
with a grasp of death, and neither man
nor dog could utter a sound till all was
over. This man was the widow's son-in-
law, the husband of the only daughter..
He coveted her little store of wealth,
her house, her cattle, and her land; and
instigated by his sordid impatience, he
could not wait for the decay of nature
to give her property up to him and his,
as tbe only heirs-apparent, but made
this stealthy visit to do a deed of darkness in the gloom of the sight. *^A fearful . re tri bu it ion awaited him. The
widow's apprehensions communicated
to her mind, and impressed upon her-
nerves by what unseen power we know
not the sympathy of tbe woman who
loaned the dog, and the silent but -certain watch of the dog, himself, formed
a chain of even ts which brought the
murderer's blood upon his own head,
and which are difficult to be explained
without reference to that Providence
which numbers the hairs of our heads,
watehes the sparrow's fe.U and " shapes
our ends, rough-hew them as we wiD.'jx
The "Duto." ajteb HiM.-^Chir "devil"
is as all'" devils" are, an honest, sharp
and industrious boy, who about two
years ago, labored faithful ly for a *"tuff
old cuss" of an abolitionist in this- vicinity, and until a day or two since was
unable to bring the "old sinner" to a
settlement. But as the "devil" gets
his dues in many other instances, so he
did in this, after long and patient waiting and vexatious " dunning." One
fine day during the past "Week, while
the "dev." was in active discharge of his
duties, espied the venerable old "ah."
passed his window with a team. His
companions in the office being acquainted with the circumstances, urged the
"knight of the roller" to " go far him"
—and he went, at a more rapid gait
than we ever saw him move before. He
was hatless and unwashed, with greenbacks on the brain and "blood in his
eye." Determination rested upon his
inky brow as he neared the horror-striken Mr. Slow-pay, and grabbed the bridle
of the nigh horse, crying " Whoa!" The
horses were as much surprised as was
their driver, and strove hard to rid
themselves from the grasp of ye "devil,"
but all in vain, he held- on like "grim
death to a dead nigger." bawling out,
"pay me—pay me, you old son of a sea-
cook, or I'll constipate your team." The
old delinquent was not long in realizing
his situation, and called out to the
" devil" who was swinging from the
horses heads like the pendelum of a
clock, " hold on there." That's just
what I am trying to do Sir, and 1 guess
I'll make it." said the "imp," " Well,
well," said Slowpay, "take your frightful looking carcass from before Bay
horses, and oome and get your! money,
for I might as well be in h—1 at once as
to have the devil continually on my
track—here's your money." Whereupon he nervously counted- out $3,75 to
the best pleased "devil" this side of the
infernal regions, who bowed himself to
the ground and with commendable
politeness, said, " thank you sir, and I
hope you will ever bear in mind that all
debts due the "devil" must be paid
sooner or later."—Chatfield. Democrat.
—A New Orleans paper learns that
"there are far more inquiries now, by
men of capital and means, for plantation property, than at any previous
period." This is no doubt true, not
only with reference to plantations, but
other property likewise. And the inquiry is" confined not merely to those
who wish to purchase, but includes a
large number who desire to collect
debts due them from- Southern debtors
for the' last eight years'.
